Atiq’s lawyer booked for demanding ₹3 crore as extortion
Mishra has denied all allegations of wrongdoing and said, “The FIR makes completely false allegations against me as part of a conspiracy to malign my image and harm my reputation.”
Slain gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad’s lawyer Vijay Mishra has been booked for allegedly demanding ₹3 crore extortion money from a plywood trader in Prayagraj district.
In his complaint to the Attarsuiya police in Prayagraj, Sayeed Ahmad, who hails from Dariyabad and owns a shop in Muthiganj, said Mishra had bought goods worth ₹1.20 lakh from him on credit, but refused to clear his dues even days later.
On April 20, Mishra called Saeed on his phone and demanded ₹3 crore in the name Atiq and his henchmen, the trader alleged.
Attarsuiya SHO Yogesh Pratap Singh said an FIR was registered against Vijay Mishra on Sunday night. Appropriate action will be taken after investigation, he added.
Meanwhile, Mishra has denied all allegations of wrongdoing and said, “The FIR makes completely false allegations against me as part of a conspiracy to malign my image and harm my reputation.”
